So you want to know about me and this blog, huh? Okay, I'll tell you. My name is Nick Meece, I live in Indianapolis, Indiana. I'm a big horror movie buff, specifically slashers. I grew up in a small town just outside Indy called Camby. It will always be home.

Where'd the name MorbidMuch come from? Glad you asked. It's actually a quote from the first episode of BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER -- Cordelia remarks, "Morbid much?!" Also, the name strikes nostalgia with me because back in the day (circa 1999-2001) there was a site called Scream-Trilogy.com and it was ran by a guy who went by MorbidMuch. So this "reincarnation" is partly a wink and a nod towards him. And besides, this started out a personal blog and slowly transitioned into a general horror and pop culture blog...so it needed a new name!

The header image above is a shot from 2014 with my mannequin in some RZ Michael Myers garb.

I run (ran) a movie news site called Sequel Buzz, which reports news and rumors on upcoming movie sequels, prequels and remakes. As of 2014, I also run a haunted house review site called Haunted House Indy. My favorite movie is FIGHT CLUB and I'll defend it until the day I die. Many others rank up there, but that movie "affected" me.

I dabble in the film industry and I like to write. I published my first book in July 2010, the same month of the birth of my first born, Chase. I republished my first book as a second edition in February 2013. And in April 2015, I welcomed my second son, Alexander.

I've currently have many other writing projects that are "in the works" -- I'm lazy, what can I say?

I run MorbidMuch.com (formerly NickMeece.com) to serve as a portfolio and a place for me to post movie and TV reviews -- and occasionally cool and weird things I find from time to time.

MOST POPULAR ON MORBIDMUCH THIS YEAR...

Surely by now, you've seen the bombshell that Blumhouse and Jamie Lee Curtis dropped yesterday. It is confirmed that Jamie Lee Curtis will be reprising her iconic role as Laurie Strode in the upcoming Halloween movie scheduled for release in 2018.

What's funny, though, is that we've known since the beginning that this new film was going to be a direct sequel to the earliest installments. So you can imagine the massive amounts of eye-rolling I did when I saw people complaining and saying that Jame Lee died in Halloween: Resurrection, how could she possibly return? Well, it's simple, they're pulling a Halloween H20 and ignoring all previous installments. So this is essentially Halloween H40.

But that's not my theory. I think this is pretty much known. However, here's what I actually think is going to go down...

I believe that this new movie will not be a sequel 1981's Halloween II, but rather a direct sequel to 1978's Halloween.

Yesterday was a fun day. Not only was it my birthday, but my girlfriend agreed to accompany me on a three-hour road trip to southern Indiana to check out some of the filming locations of ROSEANNE. Let me just say Evansville, Indiana is Lanford, Illinois.

Also, I'd just like to add, with simple Google searches, all the locales were relatively easy to find -- no back-roads or DELIVERANCE-style expeditions needed.

Okay, so let's get this ball rolling, shall we.

We'll start off with the infamous Third & Delaware street sign.

This is how it appeared in 1989...

And this is how it looks in 2015...

As you can see, the sign is new and they've swapped positions. But, this is the same intersection and this is the original location. Take notice of the tree in the background. That same tree is visible behind the screenshot from the show.

Now let's take a look at Lanford's favorite watering hole, the Lobo! This is how it appeared in the show...

Full disclosure: I've never even heard of this movie before yesterday. I just so happened to stumble across a review for it on another site. I didn't read the whole review, just skimmed it, and it was enough to push me into the direction of watching it.

Surprisingly, it wasn't very hard to track down a digital copy, so that's exactly what I did.

The movies opens in the aftermath of a murder spree, there's police markers and evidence tags everywhere. It's clear that something just went down. We're given a little bit of backstory clarity when we're introduced the main character, Rachel.

Rachel is the sole survivor of the killings that pre-date this movie. It's three years later and her and her college friends are planning a spring break getaway. Naturally, they all choose to go to a remote cabin deep in the woods. Sounds about right for a slasher flick.

Now, the movie's pretty transparent about who the killer is, even the filmmakers aren…
